Camp memories Hi There!
I'm LIz from South Florida and I was up there for 4 summers
in a row-- probably from 93-97. I loved it! The first year that I was there...I fell in love with the trippers...ate with them every day and cried 1/2 way home on the plane...what a special group of people...thanks for the memories! ;) Liz
Say what....? Hey Andrew...
GREAT to hear from you! Good to know that one of the cousins can speak the language - so you'll leave us saying... "say what?" I'm proud none the less! I wish I was in the freezing cold with all the snow, autumn's hit and it's hotter than the whole summer.
From SE QLD, Love Lisa
I almost forgot about you too! Until I saw a message saying you had a new journal on your blog. I can't wait until Sept. Then I get to see all my 'long lost' cousins, Aunts and Uncles! Have fun!
See ya in 6 months(hopefully)! Love Maija (one of your many cousins!)
Hey Andrew Our skype had been down for a few weeks, but it's back up now, so we'll look for you and call. I actually just tried your dad, and he was talking to his mum. Great to read your journal! Your mum said you're coming on the 13 of Sept. We'll be driving back up with your family, that seems to be the plan, after the reunion, Sept 30th and will be in Cairns for a week, Katrina can be there too hopefully and we'll go to your camp in Tinaroo. Sounds like a blast, we can't wait. We'll be in Aust 6 weeks all up. Chat more soon, Jenn
LEAVING CIH Hey Andrew, GREAT to see that it looks as if "it" all worked out O.K for you in the end. No Pain No Gain, as they say. Well at long last I'm finally leaving the Cairns International Hotel, moving on to an "Office " type job for a Construction company, Monday to Friday etc.
Keep safe and I'm sure somewhere we'll bump in to one another.
Cheers, KEITH BAILEY.
Tits Great use of David Brent then, i loved it. His new series called Extras is coming out here next month. It's pretty good too. Regards,
Brandon (ahaahaahaaa heeeehhhrr)
What ???? The things I have to find out from travelblogs..... jumping at Crystal Cascades in flood!!!!... I am always glad when you return home safely from up there because I never know what you boys get up to when I'm not around ... I guess I will also be glad when you return home safely from your world travels because now I wonder what on earth will you be getting up to next ... firing bazookas and TNT blowing up my homeland ....you need every bit of God's protection each day. Love Mum
Next.... Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, next.
I hope in the title, when u said "done. NEXT" referred to my great show called The Office, yeah.
Sounds like you're doing some pretty interesting stuff mate. well done. Just remember: "If you want the rainbow, you've got put up with the rain" - Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits...
Hienoa Koita saada selvaa tasta. Aikamoinen temppu tulla Suomen talveen.

Hi Andrew Andrew you may think you are crazy at the moment but that is life ! You will look back one day and see that in" the history of stupid ideas" there are some that are far more stupid! This is not stupid at all just freezing cold at the moment and soon it will be beautiful! Enjoy each day as it comes - think of you often!
ILTAA ANDREW AUSTRALIASTA I WOULD WRITE IN FINNISH BUT I'M TOO SLOW DON'T HAVE TIME. MAIJA TRACKED YOU DOWN AND THIS IS GREAT! LOVE THE PICTURES. IS YOUR KIELI GETTING A HANG OF THE NEW WORDS ? AUNTY LEA AND I SPENT A FEW HOURS WITH YOUR MUM AT COOLUM YESTERDAY ARVO. WONDERFUL CATCHING UP! AWAITING YOUR NEXT ENTRY. THIS IS MORE FUN THAN T.V.
Hello from Taiwan Hey,
It sounds so interesting and crazy! This travel blog thing is really cool. I should build up some motivation to do it as well. You're so damn brave. Good for you. Keep the positive attitude and you'll do great! Talk to you soon. Kim
What extreme conditions!!! hey andrew,
its great to hear from you and all that you've been up to. i can imagine it wouldn't be easy at all but i have no doubt you will suceed just the same! how long will you be there for? i remember back at camp you said you were thinking about doing that, its awesome that you are! i'm enjoying being back in australia and am now living in wagga with my younger sister. look forward to keeping in touch. bye for now.
You are crazy...and brave Hey Andrew,
Glad you are surviving and keeping a positive attitude! I am not going to lie to you, the stuff you are doing in the freezing cold doesn't sound too appealing so that fact that you can spin it positively says a lot about your character! And you manage to do it by still looking "so hot right now"!!!!!!!!!!! Keep Smiling
Love,
DEANNA SUTHERLAND
Finnish language? Hei,
My younger brother's face the same thing. To repeat an earlier comment: Do you speak Finnish? Are you in a group of foreigners? Do you get much instruction in English? Cheers and good luck. :)
Admiration I really admire your sense of braveness and adventure. You´re always doing something new, different and overcoming yourself. I miss you a whole lot! Kisses
Hey Crazy Nut! Well you finally made it! WhooP! Your hair got shorter, and then shorter again huh?! and the navy? Sounds like you have a great adventure in front of you. All the best, and keep us updated on your entries. Sauli and Jenn and the kids
We're having a warmer winter than you. Hi Andrew,
Hope the winter visit to Minnesota helped you aclimate to what youre dealing with now. Good luck in getting rest, it sounds like you'll need it.Jenn and Sauli are doing well.
G'Day Andrew Andrew WHAT ! are you doing? You are mad. I Told you your rifle and you would become best buddies. I hope you don't freeze to death. Keep safe. Keith, Best of luck mate.
Dear friend <3 Hopefully this same beautiful spring sun is shining to you also. i have problem with my right arm and can't write that good. Wednesday we have own apartment!!! So if you have holiday at next weekend we hopefully have somekind of party :) Send a textmessage or maybe i do it. i have bad money-issue now, so i try to be careful with it. sorry my bad english, love you! (and we have some good photos to your travelblog)
Heippa Andrew I'm a Finn living in the UK with a son who has dual citizenship and will face what you're facing in about 3 years time! So in other words, I'm going to follow your journal with great interest. Do you speak Finnish? Don't let those vänrikkis shout at you too much! Cheers Tess
I hope everyone can now keep track of me. I am a very slack email writer, so if you want to find out where I am and what I'm up to, this is the place to head (for the next while anyway).
If you do drop in, be sociable, say hi and leave a message!! (Yes, that's my air ring)... full info
